Wrote that the other day, actually.

Thinking about Luis Tiant, who passed away a year ago today. He’d have really enjoyed seeing Aroldis Chapman pitch as well as he did.

Luis will always be missed around Fenway and JetBlue Park.

Boomer played more games for the Sox but was better the Brew Crew. Blew me off for an autograph when I was 13. Not that I remember or anything. 😀

Cecil Cooper threw out the first pitch for the Brewers last night. Right up there with Ben Oglivie in the pantheon of former Red Sox who became stars in Milwaukee.

I was impressed that the Dodgers were prepared to counter it the way they did.

Peter Abraham @peteabeglobe.bsky.social · 1d

Still can't get over that the Dodgers ran a wheel play to perfection to get a huge out last night. Old-school fundamental baseball.

On Baseball: As the Red Sox look at improving their roster, nobody should be off the table in trade talks.

Well, except for a few guys.

Except for a select few, every player on the roster should be on the table in trades to improve the Red Sox - The Boston Globe

This offseason does not require a seismic shift, but chief baseball officer Craig Breslow should be bold in trying to improve the rotation and add power to the lineup.

Aggregators now stealing our photos, too, not just what we write.

Would have been a good day for a workout before Game 3 of the Division Series.

They're also discussing the coaching staff. So there was not a blanket "we would like everyone to come back."

The only bit of news to come out of the Red Sox end-of-season press conference was that Carlos Narvaéz will have surgery to clear up the meniscus tear in his right knee.

Great win!

Trey Yesavage faced the Yankees' Triple A team on Aug. 21 and allowed three runs on four hits over 4 2/3 innings.

Now he's no-hitting the varsity through five innings in a playoff game.

How about WWII code breakers being the descendants of the people he was talking to. That's quite something.

In this story @alexspeier.bsky.social spoke to Sam Kennedy about what comes next for the Red Sox:

What’s next for the Red Sox? Team president Sam Kennedy contemplates path moving forward. - The Boston Globe

After an 89-win season and a return to the playoffs, Kennedy insisted that 2025 represented a starting point to build from for the Red Sox.

They went after his mother as it turned out. That’s who you sided with. Good job.

He had a 2.96 ERA in 14 starts, Dan. If the Red Sox had a rookie pitcher doing that you’d be doing handsprings.

"When he’s on the mound, he’s a killer.”

Great stuff from Tara Sullivan here on Cam Schlittler enjoying the aftermath of his dominant start against the Red Sox in Game 3 last night.

‘This was personal for me.’ Cam Schlittler’s motivation in Game 3 came straight from his own buddies. - The Boston Globe

"I didn’t talk to my friends for two days," said the 24-year-old righthander from Walpole who led the Yankees over the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series.

Right, because that was the only possible way to do it.

Peter Abraham @peteabeglobe.bsky.social · 5d

The player didn’t want to repeat what was said. So what was the writer supposed to do? The player has been truthful before. So all of a sudden he made that up?

But if you side with trolls, so be it.
